Wooden star cutout in scarlet red – birch plywood 3–50 cm

The Advent table is laid and the candles are lit. But between the plates and the fir branches, one splash of colour is still missing. This scarlet red wooden star is made for exactly that. It is a birch plywood cutout, lacquered on both sides in a strong red. Lay out a few stars and your table looks festive without lots of decorating.

What changes for you

• Your table, window or garland looks more festive straight away. The strong scarlet red is lacquered on both sides, so it looks just as good from either side.
• Crafting is more relaxed, because the laser-cut edges are smooth and accurate to size. No sanding, no fraying.
• You'll find the right size for every idea. The star comes in widths from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• Your decorations stay special, because the grain and small knots remain visible under the satin-matt lacquer. Every star is one of a kind.
• Plan bigger projects without reordering, thanks to sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this wooden star makes a difference every day

Red wooden stars bring something to your Christmas decorations that plastic glitter can't: warmth and calm. The birch plywood feels smooth and light in your hand. Use the stars as table scatter on the Advent table, as window decorations or threaded onto a garland. Put together, the stars look lovingly arranged without the decoration looking cluttered.

Material & finish

Each star is laser-cut from 3 mm birch plywood. This gives clean, smooth edges and an accurate shape. It feels nice to the touch and is easy to work with. At Bütic, we lacquer the raw boards scarlet red on both sides in our own production in Pößneck. The clear, satin-matt water-based lacquer lets the wood grain and small knots show through. Wood is a purely natural material. Every piece varies slightly in shade and texture. That is what makes your decoration unique – it is not a flaw.

How to use the wooden stars

• Crafting with children: Thread the stars, stick things on them or join them into garlands. The smooth edges make the work easy.
• In a bakery, café or at a market stall: Place the stars on the counter or in the shop window. The sets of 10 to 100 pieces are enough for the whole season's decorations. Setting up takes just a few minutes.
• As a gift tag: Add a small red star to the parcel. The present looks special before it's even unwrapped.

Good to know about the star

The star is one of the oldest symbols of Christmas. It recalls the Star of Bethlehem, which showed the way to the manger. That's why the motif suits not only the Advent table. It also fits nativity scenes, window decorations in the run-up to Christmas and festive shop decorations.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: just wipe dry when needed. Avoid prolonged moisture, as wood is a natural material. That way your stars keep their strong colour for many Christmas seasons.
